I posted this to someone. I wanted to get your feedback on this. Let me know your thoughts below...


"This is the way a lot of informed people think.... we believe that we need hospitals and clinics for trama care. So if you break your arm you go there and get it set. But here's the problem, hospitals and clinics to a very large degree are doing a million and one different things to generate revenue. Which also put patients at risk. From unncessary surgury to endless perscriptions to tests, treatments, and proceedures that are completely pointless. Only that each one done is making the hospital more money. Example my friends son, he could walk fine. Dr told my friend who was a young father at the time to get his son to see a specialist. The specialist told him that his son should get this operation otherwise the son might be a hunchback later on in life (the kid wasn't a hunchback). So he did and they paralyzed the kid from the neck down. And he also didn't get any compensation for this tradgic malpractice. Read the book called Confessions of a medical heratic. The dr who wrote it talks about tons and tons of situations just like this that happen every day. Some say the 3rd leading killer in north america is healthcare used in a normal fashion. about 250,000 people die annually in america alone while getting normal treatment at hospitals and under normal dr care. The old saying they use to teach in medical school "Do No Harm" which is the hypocratic oweth, no longer is swarn to. No longer is part of the contract they have to go through to become dr's. They took it out a long time ago already. Look it up! If you do harm it's no big deal anymore it seems. The only thing I'd ever use a hospital for is trama care like I said, a car accident or broken arm. If it's anything "undetermined" or controversial, you must error on the side of caution and not allow the hopsital to do anything. If they do there's a good chance you'll be messed up for life or die as a result. Happens everyday. Just sad so many people are unaware of this. For those situations use alternative treatments first. Often the best way to get well, is a very simple process. Your body might be lacking something. Something ideas are things like making sure you got the essencials. Deep breathing, hydrated body, proper diet and eating healthy, proper rest, getting out of a toxic environment and living somewhere healthy, lowering stress, thinking healthy, regular excercise, looking up alternative treatments and medicine online, listening to what your body is trying to tell you. These are all simple ways that often can recalibrate the the body and get back to optimal health. Another common misconception is that somehow the pill or the Dr does something that heals you. That's not true at all. The body's immune system is the only thing that heals the body in most cases. It just needs some of these things I just mentioned to help it work and function normally again to heal itself. Instead we're so stupid and so brainwashed that we actually think that when we go to the DR allow him to do anything he wants to us, and take all these dangerous chemicals (pills) that somehow is the cure we need. That's not how it works at all. Please read that book I mentioned. People are taught growing up "Trust your dr". NO WAY in hell! That's like trust the devil himself, or trust your politician. Anyway that's my take on it. I'm not saying I have all the answsers either, I'm just basing this on my knowledge about the industry and what it's turned into which is more a business than it is worrying about whether someone is getting better or not.

Dear Canadian36,

While some of your points are valid, I believe that you are way "overgeneralizing" the problem. I think there are still many physicians who have their patients' best interests uppermost in their minds. I am personally acquainted with a number of doctors who are true believers (one performed life-saving surgery on me) and others who are dedicated to their profession of healing the sick.

What we all have to do is take personal responsibliity for our medical care. Ask questions. Demand answers. Do your own research. Those doctors who take offense at that kind of approach are the ones we need to avoid.

I have spent a lot of time in hospitals over the past several years, and I learned two things. #1, There are "bad" (careless, greedy, slothful) people working in hospitals just like everywhere else. But there are an awful lot of good, caring people too. #2, God is in control of everything. If you trust in Him, He will see you through your stay in the hospital just like everywhere else.

God bless.

Dave, I just love it! Whatever the situation is, first you do everything in your power to solve any problem and take care of it yourself, and second you know that God is in control and you can relax and go with whatever happens after your have done your part.

I’ll be 87 in May. What a lot of grief you would have saved me if only I had met you when I was 14.

Haha...He is definitely a good thinker!

It seems like doctors want to put you on a pill for every little problem these days. It might fix one problem but causes 2 or 3 others.

Seeing my Dad ( in his 70's) take about 20 pills a day and suffering from heart disease and diabetes has made me decide to make changes in my lifestyle, instead of going on medicine. I know some people really do need the drugs, but I do wonder why doctors don't talk about lifestyle changes anymore. Maybe they gave up.

Or it's just what they've been trained to do. But I do agree, there's a lot of good doctors out there who have saved many lives; we just need to be informed about our own treatments.
